In You Rejoiceth also known as Epi Si Harri is a tempera and gold leaf painting by Francheskos Kavertzas. The painting is a tribute to the Virgin Mary. Kavertzas was active on the island of Crete during the first half of the 17th century. He was a member of the late Cretan School. Seven of his works survived, five were signed. His two most notable pieces are The Last Judgment and In You Rejoiceth. The theme and style behind In You Rejoiceth mostly resembles Georgios Klontzas's painting In Thee Rejoiceth. Theodore Poulakis also created his own version of the masterpiece In Thee Rejoiceth towards the second half of the 17th century. Many artists created their own version of the painting. The theme became a prototype in Crete during the 17th century. Leos Moskos also created his own version of the painting. The Klontzas and Poulakis paintings both feature the Hymn to the Virgin. The Kavertzas painting lacks the pictorial representation of the Hymn to the Virgin. The name is used on paintings that are stylistically similar to Klontzas's original work. Francheskos Kavertzas painting is located in Paris at the Musée des beaux-arts de la ville de Paris.[1][2][3]
